Yeh, I bought the LG player on Saturday for $350. I have not installed it into my reciever/TV yet. I will say this, the number of titles that are availible for instant viewing are quite small. I could only find a handfull on the web yesterday even though Netflix states in the promotional...

Apparently, Netflix is offering an new service where you buy a LG Blu Ray player for $399 and it allows you to download movies for play to your TV. The add says the Player must be pluged into a eithernet cable - no wireless connection will work. Question: Can you "hard wire" the LG...

I own a Denon 3300 vintage 1999. It has been to the repair shop twice and back to Denon once. Except for the constant repair issues, this is a solid performer. Your speakers are the issue and not the old Denon receiver. Anyway, I purchased an Onkyo receiver recently 7 x 130. It is a TOTAL...

I have an Onkyo 805 receiver and it popps and clicks often. My issues are when I'm using the cable Tv source that is not connected via HTMI cables. No clicks or pops ocurr during DVD playback, including my DVD copy of the Eagles Farwell, however. I'm using JBL 15" mains with...

Come to think of it, I own the same Onyko 805 receiver and it clicks and pops all the time! This seems to ocurr only on the Cable TV input and not the DVD player. Are the Onyko fellas recalling this piece of garbage? I never liked this receiver - too hard to set up, bad instructions...

I own a "KlipHorn" 12" powered sub. It is a poor design and the amp section blew after 3 years of low useage. Driver is not capible of low freq, reproduction 25-150 Hz, for example.. Stay away from this garbage! Build a JBL sub with Dynaco SS amp. for best bag for the buk.

As you know, busted tweets are the result of feeding them high power signals that contain lots of distortion (both THD, & IMD). In all likelhood, this was caused by something in the Sony disk player. What amps are you using? Some receivers, pre-amps and passive croosovers contain special...

I got the big Crown 802D yesterday but it is not installed in my HT yet. I did yank the cover and found a big copper transformer, 20 heat sunk output transistors, and old-style circuit board with some resistors, diodes, etc. Apparently, there are no micro chips that I could see. Anyway...

OK Johnnie: Thats what I have heard (no pun) too! I think I'm going with the 802D @ 500 wpc into 8 ohms.

I need some more KICK from my HT receiver - Onkyo 130 X 7. ...My fronts are JBL 15 inch, compression drivers and slot tweets. Anyway, I'm looking at Crown amps 802 series with 500 watts per side into 8 ohms that I would run from the pre-amp outs on the Onkyo. They only concern I have...

I recently bought an Onkyo 800 series rated at 130 x 7. Compared with my old Denon 3300 rated at 100 x 5, it is not rated very conservatively; I'd pick the Denon. Both the Onkyo and Denon setup procedure is a nightmare! I have installed the Onyko in a glass TV table and it throws massive...

I have an old Denon 3300 receiver that is rated at 105 watts into 8 ohms at THD .05%. The spec sheet from Denon says the receiver will accept speaker loads from 6 to 16 ohms but the maximum power rating is not provided into 16ohms. I am considering the purchase of a set of 16 ohm speakers...

Either of these would be nice: http://www.performanceaudio.com/medi...100/1254_s.pdf JBL Professional 3678 at Performance Audio

Chuck: OK, so I have one remaining room, a medium sized living area, to equip with sound and I have narrowed the choice down to two candidates (1) The Klipsch Heritage 3, and (2) the Series 3677 JBL. This will be a simple system, preferrably with only two speakers and a clean amp. Klipsch...

The big Klipsch folded horns are great speakers but have always been overpriced IMO. I've listened to these many times over the years - very impressive. Hey ChuckG: You seem to have some experience with commercial sound systems. What electronics do you see in cinema applications these days...

I was considering doing the same a few weeks ago. After doing a bunch of research, I concluded there was not much savings compared to buying a completed high-end media PC. I spent about $2K on a HP Pavilion with 24 inch monitor.

One other thing.. I recently subscribed to NetFlix - even though I am not a big fan of movies. Anyway, if you buy a $99 box from them you can direct movies to your home with a PC. In effect, you can view the same movie 100 times with no additional cost other than the monthly fee paid for the...

I had my ears tested recently by an MD. They are good for my age but I don't hear much at all below 50HZ. So is the powered 12 inch Klipsch sub a joke; it is 7 or 8 years old now, I guess. The more critical listening I do, the more I believe the Klipschs are way overpriced. They are much...

OK - so this has been helpfull. I think before my Media PC purchase a few weeks ago I read two dozen magazine articles, all of which were written to encourage folks to move forward with intergrating (purchasing) a high-end PC into their HT. None of these articles mentioned copywrite laws...

I'll experiment with my Klipsch sub X-over point to see if I can reduce the localization. Jerry: ...not sure what you mean when you say it is ironic VOTT guys were first to use active X-overs. ...obviously, reproduction in theaters, larger rooms and outdoors presents special issues, but I...

I forgot to list the Denon/Premier Acustic tower system I have in the bedroom (pure sewage). Anyway, the information above that says a difference of 10 DB is equal to an increase in the sound pressure level of 100%. Many professinal compression drivers have sensativity levels in excess of 110...

OK, a reasonable argument has been made for me to listen to more [different] speakers. Did I mention, I have a few different receivers and speakers located in different rooms in the house including: 1. Bose/ Denon 2. Klipsch/ Onkyo 3. JBL/Denon OK, so nothing truly exotic but each...

Yeh, I spent hours learning how to manually adjust the balance and tone controls for the Onkyo receiver. I turn off the unit in the AM and return in at night to learn that the settings go back to zero if you turn the power off. This is kinda dumb; right? Heh, I just bought an Internet card...

Yikes! ...those old drivers are pretty rare and I would have thought they could be damaged with 120 volt current. What ever happened to the old horn?

...good and "Micro" are mutually exclusive, I suppose. I have some Bose PC speakers that I hate, but I'm picky.

I'm not a fan of loud music. I think if you listened to some professional studio monitors with compression drivers in a home setting you would agree that home speakers do not compare. I can say this because I owned the studios for about 30 years! My comparision is based my current system...

I have an optical out from my cable box connected to my receiver. In addition, I have the HTMI cable from the cable box to the TV. This is so I can listen to the TV without having the reciever on. If you do this, however and have the TV and receiver on at the same time, you will notice an...

....u need to take this to an electronics repair store or send it back to the manufacturor. I assume the transformer or other power components got fried. I doubt it is speakers, can you attach another different speaker and test it? I've traveled extensively through Europe and Asia. Using...

...but in the case of the DVR, I've already paid the artists via my cable bill, dido for each rented movie... So people who have made VCR copies of movies they rented for the last 30 years are violating copyright laws? Then why haven't the artists prevented electronics manufactorers from...

...not sure what you mean by use them independent of each other. If you mean play a CD to the outside speakers and the [different] sound from the cable box through the wall speakers at the same time - NO. ...today, everone is electronically challenged since, rocket scientists sem to be...
